Beneath its snowy mantle,
The unborn grass lies waiting
for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings a song
And speaks to me of flowers
that will bloom again in spring
When I was young my heart
And anything that it would tell me
that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want
And take the snow back with you
where it came from on that day.
The one I loved forever is untrue,
that I would fly away with you.
The breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll only break my heart again
So little snowbird take me
To that land of gentle breezes
where the peaceful waters flow
And take the snow back with you
where it came from on that day
What I love forever is untrue
that I would fly away with you
Yeah, if I could you'd know
that I would fly away with you
